Do not call 'destroy_ai(ai)' at error handling of 'scan_all', since:
- 'ai' is allocated in 'ubi_attach' (the caller of scan_all) and
  provided as an argument. It's not scan_all's responsibility to free it
- It is not consistent with scan_all's sister function
  'ubi_attach_fastmap()' which does not free the given 'ai'
- It will cause a double free as 'ubi_attach' (the caller of scan_all)
  already destroys 'ai' in case of an error
